Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Shredded zucchini
• 1 cup Grated carrot
• 0.5 cup Chopped spinach
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Hot water
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking and greasing pan)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with hot water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This will act as a binder instead of eggs.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add the gluten-free rolled oats and chickpea flour. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Fold in the shredded zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped spinach. Mix evenly.

Step 4

Add the flaxseed mixture, minced garlic, chopped green onions, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive dough-like mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water. If it's too wet, sprinkle in a little more chickpea flour.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place 3-4 patties in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve the patties warm on their own, or pair them with a dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
